We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Madhapur in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
